Local Libraries Plan Special Children’s Activities for Spring Break
February 28 2024
Families with children of all ages are invited to celebrate their Spring Break with special activities that are planned at Fort Bend County Libraries’ Cinco Ranch Branch Library, Fulshear Branch Library, and Mission Bend Branch Library throughout the week of March 8-16.
In addition to the regular weekly children’s programs, these free programs offer an opportunity for families to unwind and have fun at the library during the break from the regular school routine.
Materials for these activities are made possible by the Friends of the Library organizations that support each library.
These activities are free and open to the public; a library card is not needed to attend programs. For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website at www.fortbend.lib.tx.us or call the branch library or the library system’s Communications Office at 281-633-4734.
MARCH 8 - 15
Children can bring their second-favorite teddy bear or toy and sign them up for teddy-bear camp between March 8 and 15. The earlier in the week they come, the more adventures their teddy bear will have! (“Campers” should be backpack-sized or smaller.) Each day throughout the week, the library’s Youth Services staff will post photos on the library’s Facebook page showing the stuffed animals and their adventures! After all of their activities at Teddy-Bear Camp are over, the stuffed animals and toys will be ready to return home. Children can pick up their teddy bears, enjoy a snack, and see how much fun everyone had during Teddy-Bear Camp at the Library!
- Registration & Drop Off: Opens at 12:00 noon on Friday, March 8
- Pick-Up: Friday, March 15, anytime between 2:30 and 3:30 pm
MONDAY, MARCH 11
Families with children of all ages are invited to this Bluey extravaganza! Enjoy crafts, games, and activities all about Bluey!
TUESDAY, MARCH 12
Using pre-established prompts and props, the audience is encouraged to sing, cheer, and react along with the film. In this movie, Edward Asner is the voice of Carl Fredrickson, an aging widower who recalls a promise he made to the girl he fell in love with many, many years ago – a shared dream of exploring the world. Now in his 78th year, Carl is determined to realize this dream, and he launches his house into the sky via thousands of balloons. Right after lift-off, he discovers a stowaway in the form of an overly optimistic young Wilderness Explorer named Russell, who is working on his “Assisting the Elderly” badge. Together, they embark on an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain, and a rare bird named Kevin. Released in 2009, this animated comedy/adventure film won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. This movie is rated PG.
Two sessions of this popular presentation will be available for youth in grades K-5. Hear about different species of snakes and learn more about them before having a chance to touch or hold one! This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Fulshear Branch Library.
THURSDAY, MARCH 14
Youth in grades 4-8 will have music, games, and crafts at this glow-in-the-dark black-light party!
